We had the pleasure of working with Richie Melby Media for my daughter’s wedding in September, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, he exceeded ...
our expectations in every way.
From our initial inquiry to the final delivery of the video, Richie was responsive, attentive, and professional. He took the time to understand our vision for the wedding video, answered all our questions and addressed any concerns. We felt confident and at ease, knowing we were in capable hands. Richie was also a pleasure to work with during the day. He is pleasant and funny and puts everyone at ease. He was really good at being there, without being there (if that makes sense).
Richie provides separate snapshots of the day…sneak peek, first look, ceremony, dances, toasts, cake cutting, etc. These are not highly edited, which is good because you want to see those moments from beginning to end without interruption. They are a great way of seeing bits and pieces from the day while waiting for the final, full wedding video. The final video was perfect. The cinematography was amazing, with beautiful shots capturing the day's intimate and special moments. The editing and pacing were ideal, and the music choices were well-chosen. He caught so many great moments that made us laugh and cry. He incorporated personal details like snippets of speeches and candid moments that made the video feel unique to us.
It’s important to know that this is not a quick process. Creative video editing is time-consuming and intensive; this is why sending out snapshots periodically was so great. It’s important to have realistic expectations. That being said, considering the wedding was during the busy wedding season, we received everything in a timely manner.
We highly recommend Richie Melby Media for your wedding video. Richie truly made the wedding day unforgettable!
Absolutely amazing to work with! Richie captured our day perfectly!

, we weren't sure that a videographer was necessary, but we are SO glad we decided to hire Richie. The wedding day passes so quickly and it is such a gift to be able to relive it through our beautiful wedding video. I highly recommend you hire him!
Richie was sooo great to work with, he kept in touch with us up until the wedding seeing how things were going, and on our wedding day he was so personable and so fun to work with!...
He did an absolutely amazing job capturing our special day and our wedding video turned out so great! Highly recommend Richie if your looking for a videographer for your big day!
We cannot recommend Richie enough! His work is truly the best. Something that was really important to us was getting good audio from our ceremony and speeches, and that is exactly ...
what Richie did. And of course, the visual component of the videos was phenomenal as well. His work definitely speaks for itself!
Beyond being an incredible videographer, Richie is an absolutely wonderful person. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him. Before our wedding, he took the time to meet with us to go over the day and answer any questions we had. On our wedding day, Richie made us feel so comfortable, and we honestly didn’t know he was there (in the best way possible!) We also received our videos really quickly.
Having Richie was the best decision we made for our wedding. I know that some people don’t see the value of having a videographer (my own mom was skeptical until she saw our videos), but trust me, it’s worth every penny. We will cherish our videos for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for capturing our day in the most magical way, Richie! We are so grateful we got to work with you!
I could not have asked for a more professional videographer to capture all the special moments for my daughter's wedding. I could not have been more pleased with Richie's work. We ...
got the finished product in a matter of about a week, and it is so beutiful. He's so friendly and professional! Thank you so much Richie!
I contacted Richie the day before my daughters wedding as the other videographer canceled last minute. He said he could help us out and at a very reasonable price. He went above a...
nd beyond and I would highly recommend him!
Best Videographer EVER! Richie was on time, communicative, fun, enthusiastic, NOT AWKWARD. He made both my husband and i feel in the moment. He has years and years of experience be...
hind and in front of the camera. Having a video of my wedding is the BEST decision i made. I was sure we needed one, but how amazing is this to have forever so we can actually hear the vows/laughs, see the tears and remember all the people, love and hugs. We got a video preview (short clip) THE DAY OF our wedding. And in a short turn around time received a USB and an actual watching device with our video to keep forever. I just couldn't be more happy and i know our video will be more and more cherished as time goes on. Thanks Richie (and Fallon)! Venue was Prairie Farms Golf Course in Havre, MT. Richie's business is out of Helena, MT.

We love our wedding video. We’ve watched it over and over since we got it and have shared it with lots of friends and family. Sometimes wedding videos can be a little cheesy, the o...

Richie was so amazing to work with and the final product was absolute perfection! At our first meeting, Richie was able to offer us a package that fit all of our wants/needs and ou...
r budget. On the wedding day he jumped right into shooting footage. He also got along with everyone in our group so well. I never felt like he was in the way or was distracting. Later on in the night he provided a sneak peak video and displayed it on a little screen at our bar. By the time I woke up the next morning he had already sent me a sneak peak video, as well. Richie goes above and beyond to provide you with something you will want to rewatch for the rest of your life. I could not be more thankful and will continue to recommend Richie!
Richie was the absolute best choice for us during our wedding day. He met with us in October and got a feel for our personality. Here he asked us questions about who we were as a c...
ouple. He does a perfect job of capturing you and your partner’s personality. We met again with him in person two months before the wedding to give him a timeline and extra details about our wedding day. During the day Richie was someone who had the ability to not only calm our nerves but also keep us having fun and also thankful for one another. Our wedding video was everything we could have asked for and more. He did his work in a timely manner, giving us little snippets early on so that we weren’t waiting long and delivered the finished product with a beautiful reveal viewing night on Facebook. He then sent us a complete file of all our videos via USB and online. We could not recommend a better equipped videographer to capture any special event you may have. We cannot wait to work with Richie again! Please choose Richie Melby Media for your wedding day!!
Richie is amazing at what he does! We made the best choice by picking him to help capture our day. He is so talented and does a remarkable job with his videos. He had a day of teas...
er video created for us to watch at the reception. It was so much fun to get a sneak peek of the day and to share it with our guests during the reception. Along with the amazing day of teaser video, Richie gave us footage of all the important events and made an incredible highlight video of the whole day. We will cherish all the videos he made for us and we can’t wait to watch and relive the amazing moments throughout the years. Richie was so easy to work with and has a great personality. I would highly recommend him!!
Initially I was on the fence about booking a videographer, thankfully my mother insisted that we have one as this was the one regret she had from her wedding. I am thankful that we...
did as the wedding went by so fast and there were many things we didn't remember or were not completely present for given, the bride and groom are pulled in many directions for various things such as: pictures, traditions and greeting different guests etc. We have really enjoyed having the footage of our wedding in both high quality audio/ visual. I was especially impressed with the quality and clarity of the audio given it was really windy outside during the ceremony portion. Richie was easy to work with and good at making himself blend in so the footage is natural capturing many sentimental moments. Richie has multiple packages and was willing to work with us to create a customary package that fit our needs and budget. Additionally, he offered multiple ways to pay and split up our payments if needed. Richie also worked smoothly with our photographer, makeup artists, stylists etc. My mom was correct in the end, I would have regretted not having a videographer. I would only add that it is more than just booking a videographer its also crucial to book a videographer who is a good fit and, will provide a quality experience as well as, product that the couple will have for a life time. Richie Melby provided this for us and I would highly recommend him to others. Further, he seemed to be quick to adapt to different settings, people and situations so I believe he will easily be a good fit for the majority of couples and events.
From the first email exchange, we knew working with Richie would be a very special experience. He made sure that we felt like our wishes for our wedding day were of the utmost impo...
rtance, and he delivered above and beyond our expectations. Anyone looking for a high quality videographer to not only capture their special day but also to bring a positive energy to the entire process, including phone calls, emails, and day-of activities should book Richie. He has so much passion and creativity, it is impossible for you to be disappointed with the videos he makes for you. We wish we could get married again, just so we could experience it all over again with him behind the camera!
We highly recommend Richie Melby Media, and we cannot wait to work with him again!
Richie is simply amazing. Our original videographer fell through, and Richie really came through for us. He was prompt when replying on The Knot and super helpful. I really wanted ...
